MicroSD came in the mail. I had no trouble getting it in.

Then, when I put the battery back in the Red indicator flashes, the screen flashes white and then nothing, 5 seconds later, the screen flashes white again and then goes black.

It does this over and over with the red indicator light flashing.

I changed the media card settings to allow connection. Is there something im missing? Should I just let it do its thing or is my 2GB busted?

Thanks guys!

Does the phone work without the media card in it? If so try formatting it using your comp. Maybe there is something on there that the Pearl is trying to read.

Yea, it works without it. Its really werid. My Harddrive litteraly shattered at home lastnight and is on its way to HP to be fixed. Its odd because it self destructed right after I tried to download the latest OS.

I just told it not to automatically recognize the SD and its still doing it.

Great.

I had the same problem so I called T-mobile and they told me that the pearl only takes up to one gig. I know, "bummer".

What is still recognizing the SD card? The Pearl?

Upgrade the handheld software to the latest version on T-Mobile's BlackBerry Upgrade website and your 1 gb limitation will be raised to 2gb.

And remember to perform a backup before upgrading, because you never know when somthing will go wrong...

Mine did the same thing. I have t-mobile and when I put my sd card in it did exactly the same as yours. go to t-mobiles web site and up date your drivers on your computer first then back up your phone files. after that down load the BB 8100 phone driver and load it to the BB. after it updates then put your sd card back in. it should work fine

Def forgot bout the OS upgrade. I just assumed that I81u812 has the latest OS installed, and you what happens when you assume, you make an ass out of u and me.

I had the same problem with my tmobile pearl, I got a 2g and then they tell me that I can't use anything larger than a 1g. If you install any OS higher than .64 it will accept the 2g card. Do WORk!!

I81u812 · 02-10-2007, 05:25 PM

^That did it, Now I just cant figure out how to get anything onto my Pearl. I got the Pics to work fine. My .WAV files and music are another thing lol.

hi there
it seems that the 2gb card dont work as yet with the blackberry pearl due to a problem with the OS.
i am upgrading the OS thru a website that i found.
will let you know what happened afterwards fingers crossed
and also dont work with sandisk 2 gb only apparently .
